What is blockchain token
for example, Sunzi asked Li Zi to borrow 100 yuan, but Li Zi was afraid that he would default, so he asked the village head to do notarization and add the account. This is called centralization. But if you don't ask the head of the village, you can shout "I'll lend my grandson 100 yuan! Please put it in the account book. "This is called decentralization. In the past, the village head was highly respected and had a good command of the accounts of the whole village. Everyone kept their money with him. This was the past trust in centralization. Now, everyone is worried that the village head will secretly misappropriate everyone's money. What should we do? So everyone sent an account book to everyone. Anyone who transfers money between them releases information through the loudspeaker. After receiving the information, everyone records the transaction in their own account book. This is called decentralization. With distributed ledgers, it doesn't matter if Lao Zhang or Lao Li's ledgers are lost, because Lao Zhao, Lao Ma and other families have ledgers
digital currency is abbreviation of digital currency. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy. Blockchain technology service upgrade technology
digital currency and virtual currency are actually different names. They are tokens issued based on blockchain technology. Behind them are a series of computer-generated complex codes. At present, there are thousands of digital currencies in the market. The safest and most powerful digital currency is bitcoin
digital currency is also a high-risk and high return investment proct, through appropriate investment strategies, you can get rich returns. If you have spare money, you might as well put some of it into the digital currency. There will be unexpected surprises.
taking bitcoin as an example, it does not have an entity form, but exists in a special account book. All bitcoin transactions are recorded in the ledger. Through the transaction records, we can calculate the number of bitcoins owned by each user. If a person owns bitcoin, it means that he can find the relevant transaction records in the ledger
the ledger mentioned here is a software that we can download from bitcoin's official website, and the underlying technology used in this software is blockchain. In order to facilitate understanding, we usually say that blockchain is the ledger
the reason why blockchain is used as the underlying technology of ledger is to realize the feature of digital currency decentralization. It can be said that the starting point of a series of problems and solutions of digital currency comes from decentralization
2. Blockchain is a technology to ensure the safe use of digital currency. As we all know, blockchain technology has the characteristics of encryption and non tampering, which can rece the probability of errors in the use of digital currency to 0. Because digital currency requires higher encryption, it must be supported by blockchain technology. At present, not only many instries in China are using blockchain technology, but also many foreign countries are actively using blockchain technology.
Pure blockchain technology can also be applied in non-financial fields. Here are some examples of blockchain technology application:
-
cross center sharing of provident fund blacklist
ant financial blockchain and Huaxin Yong build "cloud platform of joint dishonesty punishment and deposit proof", Hainan province takes the lead in sharing the black list and deposit certificate of provident fund across centers and regions through the platform -
business service blockchain platform
the platform uses blockchain technology to open the service mode of "all-weather, zero meeting, one click" and applicants can apply for business license through the "blockchain + AI" platform, which takes only one and a half hours -
Jingdong Logistics creates a blockchain traceability platform with one click traceability of beef and mutton

there are many areas where blockchain technology can be applied, and it does not have to be related to digital currency. Cryptography focuses on blockchain information< br />
the fourth category is the asset token blockchain project. Asset token refers to linking blockchain assets to physical assets such as gold and US dollars. It is the blockchain mapping of physical assets. At present, there are no more than 10 varieties. The typical representative is usdt against US dollars, digix Dao against gold, digix. Each token represents 1 gram of Gold Certified by London Bullion Market Association
asset token has the advantages of convenient transaction and storage. First of all, asset token is more convenient for transaction. Because blockchain assets can be split, it has better liquidity. For example, at present, real estate needs to be transferred as a whole. If the real estate can be token, it can be split and purchased, which is more convenient for transaction
secondly, the token of physical assets is more concive to custody. Gold is easy to wear out and cause losses in physical transactions. However, after the token of physical assets, there is no need for physical transfer, which is more concive to the custody of physical assets.
the transaction information of bitcoin is recorded in a decentralized ledger, which is called blockchain
according to the principle of cryptography, each block is connected in chronological order to form a chain structure, so it is named blockchain.
